This is nothing less than Big Brother work; I'm sure the government will love Google for making it easier to find us when the sxxt hits the fan in a few more years! Cease and desist, Google!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53954d33ecad046c29a70319BilalMon, 09 Jun 2014 01:59:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53954d33ecad046c29a70319
iWatch the thing that was supposed to be an innovation, and has been in development for years? While the like to Peeble, Samsung have already released their and Google is about to release their watch sotfware (Android Wear) with the Moto and LG deviceshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5394fb9d6bb3f7ca185372a5Don't worrySun, 08 Jun 2014 20:11:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5394fb9d6bb3f7ca185372a5
Future iWhatever feature will be bluetooth sneakily turned on without you having the option to keep it off. Own an Apple product? Then Apple owns you.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5394de166bb3f7040c5372a4stephen russellSun, 08 Jun 2014 18:05:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5394de166bb3f7040c5372a4
But why cant they sell I Macs refurbished via Amazon?
& take checks for I Macs refurbs online or in store & yet they want to Map interior spaces.
Hope app works on Samsung phones too IE indoor maps IE ideal for USC campus alone, So CAhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393ce0decad04f62201e4badeepak bhatiaSat, 07 Jun 2014 22:44:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393ce0decad04f62201e4ba

i own 3 generation iphones and last 3 nexus devices and samsung galaxy devices. I am a PhD student and a developer for a company that tried using bluetooth for crowd management, since iphone introduced in 2011 much before ibeacon. The issue has been people have it switched off even though its efficient. The problem being its not a core function for connectivity and people in their day to day lives just dont go about switching it on again. It was a hit rate forhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393c028eab8eaf2207e11a8john XSat, 07 Jun 2014 21:45:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393c028eab8eaf2207e11a8
You must own samsung galaxy or some other android phone because iPhone's bluetooth is VERY energy efficient. I see almost no difference in battery life with it off or on. At least if you have iPhone 5/5s.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393bf7e69bedd1f2ce15803john XSat, 07 Jun 2014 21:42:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393bf7e69bedd1f2ce15803
Google is already tracking and monitoring everything you do. Now, why don't you go buy their glasses.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393bf3c6bb3f7135a9a24f5john XSat, 07 Jun 2014 21:41:16 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393bf3c6bb3f7135a9a24f5

1. And how do you know that google has the lead?
3. Oh, so I guess you know better than the Apple engineers. Ok, sure.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53939d5169beddbd7ee157f8junk scienceSat, 07 Jun 2014 19:16:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53939d5169beddbd7ee157f8
wha? google has been doing work on mapping interior public spaces for years...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937d17eab8ea36317e11a8K296CISat, 07 Jun 2014 16:59:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937d17eab8ea36317e11a8
Ever heard of an iWatch? Apple doesn't want you holding your phone they want you wearing your phone and the adds will probably be in the background so if you ignore them and they will go away or you can tap your wrist to get more details.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937b62eab8ea272d7e11a8Joe FooSat, 07 Jun 2014 16:51:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937b62eab8ea272d7e11a8
You mean to say Journifornication. That's what Cook is really interested in.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937ae7ecad04d56601e4bbJohnny LooSat, 07 Jun 2014 16:49:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53937ae7ecad04d56601e4bb
What Tim Cook really is interested in is having a map that takes him to every tearoom (men's toilet) in the country. Read "Tearoom Trade" to learn about sex in public toilets for men.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393513decad04ab5301e4bbJean-Luc PicardSat, 07 Jun 2014 13:51:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5393513decad04ab5301e4bb
Oh how the surveillance state grows ever more by the day. Citizens unaware of the unforeseen consequences of being tracked 24/7 which will inevitably lead towards a police state governing thoughts as political correctness plagues the system.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53933edeecad04220f01e4c0journificationSat, 07 Jun 2014 12:33:34 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53933edeecad04220f01e4c0
We have been aware of this project for some time and it seems totally logical but we're pretty excited about taking iBeacons and the Apple supported tech in a totally different direction from everyone else. It seems to us, that companies are focussing on the here-and-now and not longer term.
Apple are providing a sustainable road map, which is open to interpretation but offers significant scope for innovation and that's what's most exciting, about mapping internal spaces! Let's have some fun...

How many people actually have their bluetooth on when they leave the house or traveling about or even in doors?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53930f2669bedd816fe1580eGeoff HalsteadSat, 07 Jun 2014 09:09:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53930f2669bedd816fe1580e
This article is actually quite remarkable for its ignorance of three key issues.
1. Apple can only addressing "public" spaces - Malls, Airports, etc. , where it is behind Google, That is not to say that can't do it, but to suggest that Apple has a lead is preposterous.
2. The owners of such "public" venues are becoming increasingly focused on controlling and monetizing their own maps. Yes Google & Apple will be there, but there is a lot of messiness in the business aspects of doing this mapping.
3. Apple still hasn't learned the lesson that the data really matters! Great that you can capture/model the building's geometry more easily - but that has never really been tough. Floor plans or AutoCADS work just fine too. But that is NOT a map, and the data required for directions and navigation is a whole different ball game.
A map is only useful when all of the location and metadata related to that map is structured, accessible, 100% accurate and reliable. To get that, Apple will need a lot more collaboration from venue owners than simply uploading their floor plans.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/539308346bb3f74c369a24f7TJ ParkerSat, 07 Jun 2014 08:40:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/539308346bb3f74c369a24f7
"iBeacons will let marketers know that a shopper is in the candy aisle, looking not just at the chocolate display, but at the milk-chocolate-macadamia-nut section. It's that precise. Clearly, that would be a good time for a candymaker to reach the user with a location-aware ad in Apple's iAd system."
LOL. Yeah, I shop with my phone in my hand, display on, waiting for ads to arrive. Do you come from the planet of deranged marketing executives? No, I suspect that they're more savvy than that. Must be in the tech world where we customers want to see ads as much as tech companies want to deliver them to us.
